Other Notes: *Artist biography: Before coming to the U.S. from Romania, Dan Mitra worked as a graphic designer for both motion pictures and the theater. He published graphics in various magazines, and won prizes in several art competitions in Italy.

Although he has excelled in such varied media as painting, sculpture, and drawing, Mitra first began to explore the field of etching after entering the U.S. A natural facility added to an intense enthusiasm assured him an immediate success. His subject matter covers a wide range of topics, but he approaches it always from a decorative viewpoint and creates a pleasing addition to any interior by his distinctively fine line and unflawed technique and attention to subtle detail.
